Rocket School ... a Launch Pad for Success!
|
Do you know that black college students are 114% less likely to graduate from their programs than white students.
Why is that? They aren't properly prepared. Only 13% of black 8th graders in Florida are proficient in math and only 16% in reading. Something has to change! I'm Buddy Farmer and that's why I'm creating Rocket School, a launch pad for success! I believe in a supportive, faith-based, Early College high school and my first school is starting this Fall in Largo, Florida. We will be accepting 25 young African American men in the first class. Students will attend college and study hall in the morning and participate in jobs and sports in the afternoons. If you have a young man in your family and you'd like to change the trajectory of his life, find out more. |
